  1. What's especially funny is that, because he did the Elendel maps too, he did come back a third time.
  2. Buy. On the subject of 1337hoid - imagine Hoid as a troll on the Internet. Hoid's favourite world is Sel.
  3. buy-sell. I think a tiny minority by a dedicated group or individual may have been, but the vast majority were lies. Sazed will die at the end of the second trilogy.
  4. Buy. But nobody will know that the network connecting their computers is entirely his conscious effort. He'll have the responsibility of the ghost in the machine, apart from his other duties.
  5. Windrunner-archetypes do make for good hero protagonists. They're the people that want good despite law or with it, who tend to be aligned with the law but come into conflict with it, who have a reason to fight that involves protection.
  6. It happened in Way of Kings. Jasnah was Soulcasting the poison out of Shallan's bloodstream. So, yes, it is an instant blood transfusion, which immediately cleanses the blood of all impurities. You could probably cure cancer with frequent Soulcasting.
  7. You know, the unique warrior-culture living in the badlands having common roots with the pacifist storytellers has been done before, by an author I think we're all familiar with.
  8. I'll take a cup of tea, a baked waffle wrapped in a cone and served with banana-flavoured snow, and some extremely rare kiwibird, please.
  9. Yes, if by "feed me to death" you mean poison in the food, poison on the cutlery, assassins wielding hot waffle-irons, torture using the same, or a hundred other methods of twisted evil they are capable of in their position,
  10. Welcome, Rainspren! I'd like to warn you, we're in a somewhat abnormal state of forum-wide (mock) warfare right now, so if all this roleplaying stuff isn't for you, I assure you that we're usually more sane. Meanwhile, please enjoy yourself, ask questions, and theorise with the best of us! Welcome to the 17th Shard!
  11. I love the taste of roasted fungi in the morning. The charred flesh of those pale bulbs is a smoky and delicate thing indeed, an aroma thick with musk and a hint of the sea.
  12. As a member of the Newcago Court, I'd like to confirm that this is in fact a subsidiary and dependant of our fair court and not a rebel faction to be crushed hastily and with great prejudice.
  13. Certainly. This tin I'm tapping? Only to enhance the experience, the delectable burst of flavours. If one of those flavours is almond, well, that's information to deal with.
  14. Good enough to distract you from the other dozen sizes and shapes of ammunition moving towards you.
  15. Swimmingly walks into the great hall through a side door, clad in roughspun brown cloth. He opens his hands, entreatying. "Brothers! Preserve peace in the Court of the Queen, if you please! We seek no war; we simply hold this place with a fist of cold steel. On that note, Steelguard! Raise arms!" A ring of soldiers armed in kevlar and icesteel step from the shadows and doorways, raising a motely of rifles, crossbows, longbows, shortbows, disintegrator guns, javelins, claymores, icesteel rapiers, flamethrowers, tear gas grenade launchers, and assorted small arms. Others hold shields of the heavily Invested icesteel in a variety of shapes and styles. All look like competent soldiers, glaring through ice steel masks that form just about the only standard piece of equipment. "Please maintain the peace, Steelguard," Swimmingly says, smiling. "These men are my personal picks, by the way. They won't be bribed, and they can fight a man to paralysis without killing them. Do not irk them, please." Business done, he leaves through the same side door he entered through, the silence behind him filled with clinking weapons.
  16. I'm the head of the family that makes sure..accidents..happen to anyone else that gets too old! Yay!
  17. Ontario, quite close to Niagara Falls
  18. Artificial banana, actually. We also have...kiwi. The bird.
  19. The BS newsletter came out today with details, can't recall them now.
  20. I'll give you a hint: It comes in yellow...
  21. Another Canadian! You may now scorn me for living within 40 minutes of the border!
  22. On the house means free, provided by the establishment.
  23. Because this is what happens when you say BullThis post has been reported for attempting to skirt the rules. Note that the filter turned an s and three asterisks into this.
  24. It's probably comparable to removing organs from somebody. Sure, you can do it and leave them alive, but the quality of life is going to take a nosedive quickly. Imagine that as a form of torture - ripping someone's soul off bit by bit, stripping them of their power, their strength, their ability to sleep, etc, then reattaching it, degraded slightly. You could then take pieces of their soul from them whenever they were uncooperative. And yes, I'm already on the List.
  25. Iron. More useful for everyday life than a Coinshots, though less useful for mobility. I can use it to walk up walls, speed myself up when running at metal objects, and retrieve things.
